[QUOTE="Ackbar00, post: 16227621, member: 22571"] Ok. So here are the pics of the Magnaflow installed. The exhaust shop did a great job using existing hangers and not drilling a bunch of extra holes in the car. It REALLY made the car a lot quieter. (That’s a good thing). It does sound great and I’ll get of vid of here sometime in the future.

When I got home from the exhaust shop, I noticed my fuel pressure was bouncing around “0”. Thought that was a bit weird. One of the things I read, was the fuel lines could be clogged. They were the factory 69 ones, so I figured, why not. So I ordered the factory replacements. Right after I ordered that, I was like, why don’t I just order -6AN? The new fuel filter I ordered was a Russell and it had -6 ends. So I bought a cheap -6 kit from Amazon. I figure Ill send back whatever one don’t work. Lol. So first up, the -6AN. Looks nice.
